Journey on relaxation
I was having a very stressed day when so I decided it would be a good time to try and listen to the Journey on relaxation exercise. I must say it helped as I first started listening to it I just couldn't let my self relax so I took a deep breath and closed my eyes and somewhere in that moment I felt like I could feel the blood flowing through my body my shoulders and arms just seemed to melt into the sofa. For the first time today I actually felt back in balance at peace my anger had seemed to disappear. Once I had finished this technique I was surprised how easy it became once I allowed my mind to connect with my body. Once I was done with this exercise I was able to come back to my school work and focus the way I needed too. This exercise has helped me realize how important it is to take time to truly relax I now feel in tune and so much better.

Hi Hilary,
ReplyDeleteI too was having a stressful day when I decided to try the relaxation exercise. I never felt my arms getting heavy or warm, but I will say that after closing my eyes for 15 minutes and just listening to the soothing sound of the narrator's voice and the calming music in the background, that I did feel more relaxed. I have not been successful with the mind-body relaxation techniques except for deep breathing. I will keep trying new things though...maybe it just takes practice!
Hey Hilary,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are doing relaxation exercise when you have a rough day. I do too when I am having a stressful day. I love doing hath yoga and it helps me a lot to relief my stress. I always enjoy when I close my eyes at the end of yoga class and not to think anything at that moment.
